encore software

Post by james1979 » Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:52 pm

I am new to this forum but have been using a cpap machine since 2002. I want to thank you all for such a wonderful forum. I have just switched to a bipap series m after reading at this forum. My doctor thought my problem was leg movement, so he gives me requip. My legs start to twitch all the time, I stop the requip. The sleep doctor gives me clonazepam, now it is hard to wake up in the morning,I stop this.I tell him that my health is failing, this scares him into giving me a sleep study. The study says i need a bipap and a new mask and I am a mouth breather. The doctor says I thought you just had restless leg. I tell him he hasn't been listing to me. I go to the equipment man and he has been faxed my prescription but the doctor wants me on 10/15 for two weeks then 12/17 for two weeks. Now this is a auto machine, so I ask the equipment man to set it to auto, he says he can't do other than the doctor ordered. So I tell him to teach me how to program the machine myself. He tells me only a professional like him can do this. So here I am starting my second week feeling frustrated. My question is does anyone know how to work this machine, does anyone want to sell me the software or make me a copy.
I thank everyone very much.

You will need the program and a card reader. It is available Here: https://www.cpap.com/productpage-bundle.php?BundleID=64

To get into the machine it change the settings all you have to do is unplug it. While holding the 2 arrow keys down, plug it back in. You have to keep holding the arrow keys until you hear 2 beeps (3 to 4 Sec).

You can then change to auto mode or what ever you want. I would not change it until you get Encore and the card reader so you can tell what is happening. The readings off the LCD screen are often not very correct and incomplete.
